the tunnel of love

it was fun
at one time, the carnival in the empty
lot
by Sears and Roebuck's,
Penny's
and Firestone.
the tall noisy
rides,
the spinning carousel,
the fun
house
with crooked floors
and bent
mirrors. blasts of steam
rising
from out of nowhere.
everyone's a winner,
three balls
for a dollar.
balloons and cherry ice,
cotton
candy
and caramel corn.
the tunnel of love, a short
scary ride through
a darkened entrance.
